Honestly, when I saw that Egg Slut had a competitor, I wanted to see if it was similar or comparable. Egg Slut always has the longest line, which is understood because of the taste and quality, but I wanted to give this place a shot.
To be fair, I would give this place a 3.5 - a 3 does seem pretty harsh, but it wasn't my favorite spot for breakfast.
This is located inside the Proper Eats Food Court in the Aria. It's easy to spot since it's on the far right corner and it's not hard to miss. The menu itself has less than 10 options from what I remember, which includes a variety of sandwiches, hashbrowns, and drinks.
There was no line when we went and it was around 11-12pmish. You can't order through the mobile kiosk at all - you have to go to the register and order.
My husband and I got the following:
-The Chelsea - this comes with a fried egg, sausage patty, American cheese, sliced tomato, fried shallots, and spicy aioli $13
-The Midtown - same thing as the Chelsea, but this comes with bacon instead of sausage $13
-1 crispy hashbrown $6
Total came out to be around $35-40ish with tax and tip.
REVIEW OF EACH ITEM I TRIED:
-The Chelsea - honestly this is not a bad breakfast sandwich, but this was not my favorite. The sausage itself was cooked ok with some pink spots in certain areas in the middle. The American cheese really overpowered the sandwich, so you couldn't really find the fried shallots unless you felt them. The tomato was slightly weird, but it helps to cut the salt and fat. The spicy aioli was fine, but not as prominent.
I do wished we asked if we could sub the fried egg for scrambled eggs, so it would mimic the Fairfax at egg slut, but unsure if you can do that.
-The Midtown - this was pretty much the same thing as the Chelsea, but with bacon. The cheese was just too much and we didn't get to taste anything else in the sandwich.
I will give credit where credit is due where these breakfast sandwiches are pretty hearty and filling. If you love globs of American cheese in your sandwiches, and something filling to keep you full while you're gambling, this might be for you.
-Crispy hashbrown: I didn't realize that this would be a fried block of potato and I really liked it! The flavor was food, but I will say that it wasn't as crispy as I would like it. It seemed like it was sitting out for a bit, so the corners were slightly crispy but still soft all around.
Overall, I will say that this place is decent for breakfast sandwiches, but I'm not rushing back to try anything else out. If I'm in the Aria and I'm craving a breakfast sandwich, I'll swing by. Otherwise, it's not on my list for next time.
